title: [Autofluorescence and endometriosis optical trap or new hope in dianosis of endometriosis?].
abstract: Laparoscopic autofluorescence imaging of endometriosis is a new method to properly detect the disease. Autofluorescence in contrast to conventional white light laparoscopy enables us to visualize the entire extent of disease and to recognize extremely small or occult lesions. Autofluorescence imaging in fact reveals a world behind the world, a substantial new representation of endometriosis, which will have much impact on our future therapeutic strategies.
